Richbrook licenses the ford name to put on their own stuff but doesn't actually make "for" Ford afaik (a bit like the Ford branded tools which are made by an outfit based in Hong Kong who bought the licence to the name on tools). I doubt Ford makes things like aerials themselves to be honest, probably farmed out to an OEM somewhere (or maybe even Visteon if they make that type of thing) who put a Ford part number on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-mk8 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Has anybody tried these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-5-CARBON-CAR-AERIAL-BEE-STING-MAST-ANTENNA-ARIEL-ARIAL-MINI-RADIO-STUBBY/382950862865 TBH, i never use my radio as i always have my phone (spotify) or USB plugged in and listening to music from them. So not too much of a problem if it effects the radio signal, just curious before i get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi i have the longer version of this one , its 6 inches less in size than my original antenna, it works the same , i also tried a very similar one like the one in your link it was 9.5 inch and from a different supplier on amazon , dab was fine but some fm channels went weak . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadedford Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Hi I have the short stubby aerial and reception was pretty crap with original stereo , even though I think the triple dash looks well in the car I went ahead and changed to a jvc , reception a lot better , left Speakers as is and sound and reception pretty good now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
